It's been 2 days since he talked to me. He isn't talking to me. Tamizh isn't aware too. As long as Arjun don't care about me and keeps ignoring me, the empress and Aarthi isn't messing with me.

He also started sleeping in Aarthi's room. I don't like when he ignores me. He even talks with his maids and soldiers. But, he doesn't talk to me.

Tamizh was unaware of that too. Maybe because be doesn't get along with Arjun well..

It was evening and I was staring outside the window blankly.

"What's wrong?", Tamizh's voice echoed through the room.

"He's ignoring me.", I mumbled with a pout.

"Well. Let me get him on knees infront of you.", He said walking outside the door.

"No wait! Don't," I said and he stopped in his tracks.

"I don't want you to do that. Maybe he's tensed with something. He will talk to me.."

"No. He won't. Don't be a fool, Thara."

"He will talk to me. I have my ways to make him to.."

"Really?"

"Yes!", I exclaimed and he nodded taking his seat back in the couch.

"Care to tell me what's your ways? I'm just curious."

"How dare he think he could ignore me? From now on, it will be me who ignores him."

"You will ignore him and you think he will get hurt and talk back to you.."

"Yes. Is something wrong?", I asked in which he replied, "no.."

Time passed by and it was finally lunch time. He would definitely come to dining table and I would behave rude and ignore him. He will get emotional and talk back to me. Doesn't the plan look too old?

I didn't care as long it works. Everyone was seated in the dining table except Arjun. I glanced at Tamizh. He gave me an assured nod and look.

At my corner of the eyes, I saw Arjun coming towards the dining table. He plopped on the soft chair and I got up immediately as if my ass was on fire.

Everyone looked at me confused. Arjun frowned as I made my way back to my room. The plan will definitely work..

I slammed the door shut and I saw what was going on through the key hole of the room.

He was sitting and eating. Why doesn't this plan work? Was this plan childish? Or it have gone wrong? Shit! I know it's childish.

I took off my eyes from the keyhole and stood straight. I was again feeling hurt. He doesn't care about me. Also, he isn't ready to leave me.

I sighed and plopped on my soft silky bed. Few minutes passed and I heard a knock from my door. I opened the door revealing Tamizh with a plate of food.

"He didn't care. Now, eat.", He said handing me the plate. I couldn't deny because I was really hungry. I devoured my meal and had a small afternoon nap.

It's really good if we sleep afternoon. It helps to prevent heart diseases and we could be active after the sleep.

It was finally evening and I was just gazing the sky through my window. I don't know what else could I do now. In the corner of my mind, I also had the thought of fixing my watch and leaving from here.

I tried to fix it several times in the past two days. But, it doesn't work. Now, I regret that I memorized my whole EEE department portions. If I've understood my portions instead of mugging it up, maybe I would've fixed my watch.

"What is going on in the little mind of yours?", Tamizh's voice came up where I turned back.

"Nothing. Just thinking how messy my life is."

"Don't worry. Everything gets alright in time."

"What happened in the dining hall after I left? He didn't react a bit?"

"After you left, Arjun looked at you leaving and turned back to his food. When Aarthi asked if he don't care about her, he simply said I don't really care if she eats or not. That's all what he said."

"Then why don't he let me leave?"

"I don't know. Maybe you should come with me and stay in our kingdom for about a week till everything gets fine.. Mom and dad also get to see you.."

"No"

"Why? You see how they're ignoring you life you don't exist. You remember when you were rescued from the forest? He took care of you the whole day ignoring the work. The next day, you fought with the empress and he got mad at you. Why you should really respect someone who wants you to disappear? He gets the point of his mother and not you. He's really selfish."

Shit, he's right. He just sees me as a trash. Or a dust sticking along with him. He is keeping with me because people would talk behind his back that he shooed away his own wife.

"But-"

"Tell me if someone's here to give you a company or talk with you? It's just Arjun if I go back to our kingdom. If he ignores you, you're all alone, Thara. No one will be with you. What if you get into some trouble and he's not with you? There are a lot of enemies for him. They'll surely get their eyes on you to avenge him. It would not be good for you if he ignores you like this."

"You mean I can get killed by his enemies?"

"Yes. Sometimes. That is why most of the times women of royal family aren't allowed to go out. The enemies knew that they're our weakness."

"And that is why you haven't married yet?"

"Yes"

"So, you want me to come with you for a week?"

"Yes"

"Well... Uhh.. I'm ready.", I said because I'm not ready to die yet. I don't want to die.

"Pack your things. Were leaving tomorrow morning. And you can come back after a week.", He said and I nodded with a pout.

Tamizh left to his room and I was drowned in my thoughts. Minutes passed and I heard my door creak open and Arjun entered the room.

"What?", I yelled angrily.

"Get ready. There's a function...in our palace.", He said and left the next second. In our palace? I wasn't informed.

I don't want to go. But, anyway just a night and I'll be able to meet mom and dad tomorrow. Atleast, I'll be free from some problems.

I wore a green royal dress with many jewels and neutral makeup which was perfect on me. It was night and I was wearing a less glowing jewels which would attract anyone so easily.

I guess I have to make this whole night hard to him. I left outside where every maids were whispering and gasping how beautiful I was.

The whole palace was decorated and Tamizh was walking towards me.

"Well. I think you shouldn't come to the function-"

"Why? What function is it?"

"It's after wedding reception of Aarthi and Arjun.", He said and I felt like going crazy in madness but managed to suppress my anger.

"What the- why haven't I got the same after wedding reception?", I literally yelled and he shrugged.

"Well. I don't care. Today, I'm not going to make it easy for Arjun."

"What?", He asked confused. I smirked saying, "wait and see"

We made our way to the garden and saw Arjun and Aarthi together and people were blessing them. The garden was so beautiful.

Golden lights were glowing everywhere and the place was filled with light music. Children were running around. Everything was beautiful and perfect.

I looked at Arjun and Aarthi who were giggling. They looked happy. And it was hurting me. He love multiple woman?

Then, why did he behave so good to me since we got married? Why did he just rescue me from that forest when I was lost? Why did he stay with me all the day when I've got fever?

I felt someone's gaze on me. It wasn't Arjun's or Aarthi's or Tamizh's or Empress's. I looked around and saw Ezhil standing in the corner looking at me like a predator.

He was sipping his wine and was glaring at me. His predatory gaze madr me gulp. Tamizh was indeed true. I can be killed anyone while Arjun ignore me.

I slowly tightened my grip on Tamizh's wrist. He held my hand and looked at my feared face.

"What happened, Thara?", He asked concerned.

"Ezhil is glaring at me. Will be kill me because I left him?"

"Come on. I'm with you. I regret telling you to marry Arjun. I never thought Aarthi would marry him and torture you here.."

"It's ok. Now, what are we going to do?"

"We're just going to eat snacks. If he dares to touch you and I'll dare to slit his throat. Don't worry. Ignore his gaze."

I took a deep breath and sat down on the chair where beautiful lady served us snacks. Almost half of men's eyes were on me. Thanks to that half on men. Because of them, I was able to ignore Ezhil's angry gaze.

Yayyy! I became famous!

I looked at Arjun who was gawking at me. He was trying hard not to look at me. But, he couldn't. Aarthi didn't notice Arjun looking at me. Aarthi looked at me and smirked. I chuckled looking at her foolishness.

Finally, I winked at Arjun where Aarthi noticed it and clenched her fists gritting her teeth. Arjun's eyes widened and looked away from me.

My eyes was on him all the time as I ignored Aarthi and Ezhil. He looked at me again angrily as he felt my gaze. I winked again. I love how my single wink had a great effect on him.

I licked my lips and he was loosing his patience. I smirked how he had an effect. Aarthi was surely mad by this. I drank my orange juice and licked my lips again.

He shook his head and tried to focus on people who were blessing them but eventually failed.

"We have to bless them too. Shouldn't we?", I asked Tamizh and he was confused. He looked at Arjun and frowned.

"What's with Arjun? He looks so disturbed."

"Yes he is. He should.."

We got up from our seat walking towards the venue. Arjun gulped. This is what I want.. Aarthi looked so pissed. I liked getting on their nerves.

"Congratulations, Arjun.", Tamizh said reluctantly.

"Yeah. Congratulations, my dear husband", I mocked him. He held his hand and kissed him cheek. I felt goosebumps passing through him as I kissed.

Aarthi was hysterical. But, she couldn't show it infront of the crowd. I winked again and his eyes widen and looked away.

I left the venue and sat in the front row making it more hard for him. Today is the last day I'm here. I'll come back only after a week. I just want to disturb him as long as am here.

Time passed and I felt it boring. I was sleepy as it was midnight.

"Go to bed and have some good sleep. We have to go back to our kingdom tomorrow. Remember?"

"Yeah. You're not coming?", I questioned.

"No. I'll go to bed once this reciption is over."

"Okay.", I said and made my way towards the palace. There were no one inside the palace as reciption was going on outside.

The place was filled with eerie silence which was disturbing. I halted when I heard someone's footstep apart from mine. When I stopped, the footsteps stopped.

Am I having SCDS?

I looked behind finding no one. I'm damn sure it's my hallucination. I scoffed at my own stupid mind and kept walking forward.

I decided to pack my things tomorrow early morning. The next thing in going to do after reaching my room is sleeping.

I walked upstairs and kept my hand on the doorknob.
